lyrics

Life In A Major Key

I send a signal wave into the purple sky
A message to the great all-seeing eye
To a god I don’t believe in anyway
…There’s only us to blame

On the sleeper train
Under alien stars
The world that I knew
Torn asunder and strange
But no one complains
Living life in a major key

Life in a major key
Life in a major key

And when the hammer brings the whole facade down
And the torrents sweep their feet from off the ground
Pseudo-heroes and pretenders to the throne
Does it matter now?

On the sleeper train
That cuts through permafrost
I know that I’m lost
Everyone here is strange
Rictus grins on their face
Living life in a major key
